Botol oh botol

When I’m about few weeks nak kena kerja balik, baru realized yg I tak ajar Zahra how to bottle feed properly.  Time tu baru la dok search sani sini which one yang suit for her.  First bottle yang I bought for her was Breastflow from the first years,  They claimed their bottle works most like a breast.  The milk will flow to inner teat first (yg blue one) then baru keluar to outer teat.  So meaning flow tak laju sangat.  Dia nye penutup boleh letak at the bottom of the bottle so takde la senang hilang. Zahra had problem with breastflow sebab teat dia pendek and a bit keras. So this bottle jadi our first collection harta karun for botol susu

Then I remember masa dekat Baby fair back in May2011, medela introduced their new revolutionary teat which mimic breast very well,  Calma.  Babies can drink, breathe and pause regularly. The best part yang I suka sebab babies need to suck baru susu tu keluar (takde la nipple confusion) & teat tu boleh tahan until baby 3-4 years. Tak payah tukar every 6 months.  Even you tunggang kan botol tu..no milk will flow out. Price time tu promo RM89 original price rm108 or rm118 (I forgot the exact one).  Fuh mahal betul,  time tu macam interested nak beli but fikir nanti la beli.  Since it still new tak banyak baby store yang jual medela calma ni.  If  nak we have to go to Medela office dekat bangsar.  So one day masa I dok shopping2 dekat littlewhiz punye website ter perasan pulak diorng ade medela calma and terus I beli.  But sadly Zahra reject jugak :(.  This time sebab Calma tersangat la slow.  Just ade one lubang (sebesar pin hole) for air keluar and she don’t have the patient to wait!  Teat dia pulak I rasa macam panjang sangat. Terpaksa la Calma pun masuk dalam our collection yang no 2 untuk jadi harta pusaka

After that I asking around for opinion for which bottle yg ade teat yang lembut, and flow tak laju sangat, tak perlahan sangat. Macam-macam orang suggest.  After so much consideration we decided to buy Dr Brown, Natural flow.  Orang comment yang this bottle banyak part yang nak dibasuh, and bile letak dalam handbag botol tersenget ke, senang susu nak keluar.  Alhamdullillah bile bagi dekat Zahra dia accept.  Maybe sebab teat dia lembut an flow tak laju sangat.  To wash it not so fussy as complained by others as they do provide small brush to wash the small part.  This bottle ade 2 teat. one yang normal another one yang wide neck.  I choose wide neck coz dia lagi lebar and more alike to mum’s nipple…price a bit higher than normal neck for few RM

 

To added to our collection my BFF gave us Tommee Tippee bottle pulak lagi.  Thanks ekin.  Yang ni anti colic++.  what the difference between yang normal one?  Dia ade heat sensing tube that provides color indication for safe feeding.  So if the milk panas sangat the tube colour will change.  Which easier la tak payah every time nak test dekat tangan kan coz da ade indicator.  Zahra pun can accept this bottle. Seems she liked it as the teat can moving around and boleh ditarik2

 

I thought that was the end of our quest.  Nak dijadikan cerita after few days hantar Zahra to taska, they said baby tak nak both bottles (Dr Brown&Tommee Tippee) pulak.  Weird, she’s been using both bottles for two weeks suddenly tak nak pulak.  And they said they have tried her with MAM bottle and she seems ok with it.  I cakap dalam hati..MAM pulak.  No one ever advised us to use MAM bottle before and memang tak pernah consider langsung nak beli.  Malam tu jugak pergi Babyjaya and the sales girl cakap botol MAM ni dapat review yang bagus, ramai yang beli.  Rupenye kitaorng yang tak tau hehe.  They have colorful bottle and as usual I ambik yang kaler pink.  Ape yang best nye bottle MAM ni..same like other, anti colic, soft teat (teat leper sikit) and they said easy to change from MAM to MUM. So right now dah one month plus zahra dekat taska, dia pakai botol MAM jer. 

Yang lagi 4 botol tu nampaknye jad harta khazanah la nampaknye.  So mummies,  after baby one month kena train your baby to use bottle, sebab takut nanti dia reject.  I think the most important :

1-know your baby rhyme feeding first.  Dia jenis yang suke slow flow ke, fast flow ke, suke teat yang lembut ke etc (this to avoid pembaziran botol2 hehe)

2-better go to baby store where you can hold and check one by one.  sebab ade yang cakap teat lembut, but after pegang and tengok takde la lembut sangat pun

3-Must be anti colic and BPA free..if yang senang basuh tu memang added factor.

4-Apa-apa pun baby jugak yg choose which one they want.  Sometimes dia ok dengan A, but suddenly reject and nak yang B pulak ke.  Best of luck girls :)
